Save your custom configurations as reusable views. Store your preferred filters, columns, sorting, colors, and display options for quick access. Create multiple views for different stakeholders, reporting purposes, or analysis scenarios. Switch between views instantly without reconfiguring settings.
Manage all your saved views from one convenient location. Edit, duplicate, delete, or export view configurations. Run batch processing to generate multiple views simultaneously, saving time when creating reports.
Choose exactly which columns you want to display in your Gantt chart. Select from a comprehensive list of activity attributes including dates, durations, floats, resources, status, completion percentages, activity codes, user defined fields, and more. Reorder columns to match your workflow and reporting needs.
Sort your activities by multiple columns with ascending or descending order. Sort by dates, durations, floats, activity IDs, names, etc. Combine multiple sort levels to organize your schedule exactly how you need it for analysis and reporting.
Filter activities by multiple criteria simultaneously. Apply filters by activity type, status, critical path, completion percentage, date ranges, WBS codes, and custom fields. Create complex filter combinations with AND/OR logic to focus on exactly what matters for your analysis.
Configure comprehensive table display settings for your Excel output. Include or exclude WBS grouping with hierarchical structure and collapsible sections. Hide empty WBS items to keep your schedule clean. Choose WBS rollup behavior: filter-aware (excludes filtered rows, preserves rollup when collapsing), filter & collapse-aware (dynamic recalculation), or static (always includes all rows). Customize WBS level background colors for up to 10 levels. Display dates with hours/minutes or numbers with decimal places. Freeze panes to keep activity columns visible while scrolling through the timeline. Export professional-looking Excel spreadsheets with your preferred table configuration.
Customize every aspect of your Gantt chart visualization with extensive options. Choose time intervals: daily (with weekend identification and color customization), weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly views. Adjust timeline header text angle for better readability. Customize header background and font colors. Set timeline range to default (auto-calculated) or manual with specific start/end dates. Configure activity colors using three modes: status-based (automatic colors by activity status), random (unique colors per activity), or manual (pick specific colors). Customize baseline background colors with grey scale or specific color schemes for up to 3 baselines. Add data date lines with customizable colors and styles. Configure WBS level background colors in the Gantt chart area. Create professional charts tailored to your presentation needs.
Customize professional headers and footers for your Excel Gantt charts with complete control. Toggle headers and footers on or off independently. Configure up to 3 sections in both headers and footers, each with independent content. For each section, choose from: logos/images (upload and position your company logo), dynamic variables (automatically insert project name, view name, or file name), or custom text (add your own text). Mix and match content types across sections. Configure alignment (left, center, right) for each section. Create branded, professional reports tailored to your organization's needs with consistent branding across all pages.
Compare your current schedule against up to 3 baselines with comprehensive customization options. Upload multiple baseline XER files and selectively include them in your view. Choose baseline color schemes: grey scale (automatic grey tones for easy distinction) or specific colors (assign custom colors to each baseline for visual identification). Baselines appear as background bars in the Gantt chart, allowing you to visualize variances between planned and actual progress. Track performance metrics, analyze project trends over time, and identify schedule deviations at a glance. Perfect for project status reporting and variance analysis.
